I love the barter system, especially when it comes to alcohol. Thanks to the nifty spreadsheet, I can see that I'm getting close to my daily calorie allotment. What's a wino to do? Work out, of course! What's that, you say? I don't have 160 calories left to enjoy 2 glasses of wine? Guess it's time to get my butt on the stationary bike for 20 minutes. I think it's a pretty good tradeoff--I donate my body to fitness for 20 minutes, and in exchange I get to leisurely enjoy some wine while watching Top Chef and Work of Art on the DVR.
And sometimes after I work out I'm so desperate for ice water that I no longer crave the wine.
Sometimes.
Ha! Totally agreed, Emily. Wine is a definite motivator for me. And it feels so good to know you're indulging guilt-free!
